1. CoreDNS and Kubernetes
John Belamaric, Principal Architect, Infoblox

2. What Is CoreDNS? http://coredns.io
Flexible, extensible DNS server for Cloud Native Service Discovery
From author of SkyDNS2, Miek Gieben
Kubernetes integration for Service Discovery alternative to Kube- DNS
Highly extensible via implementation of new middleware

3. Middleware Features enabled via middleware components
Caching (negative and positive)
Metrics (Prometheus)
Proxy (query forwarding), Load balancing
Logging
Many more at
Kubernetes middleware uses k8s API as data source
Multiple data sources concurrently for different zones

4. Roadmap Service Registration & Discovery as in CNCF Architecture
Short term: etcd middleware for dynamic registration with different zone
Long term: offer a native registration function (maybe)
Policy Engine for managing Service Registration & Discovery
Extensible policies for security, rolling upgrades, telemetry-based load balancing and more
Working on high-perf policy engine to open source in the future (anyone want to help?)
Access data via REST, gRPC
Mesos support

5. Try It Out Runs as a Kubernetes service
Point cluster_dns at it and it’s ready to go
See for a blog on running it in your cluster
